“Bhut’wam I know nothing about any pictures; I have never taken pictures in the bedroom and I am in fact surprised about what you are talking about. I haven’t seen the pictures and if ever they exist well I don’t know who leaked them. I work with children and I wouldn’t want them to see any images of that sort,” said Nyovest.

When the reporter forwarded him the tape on email, he became furious.“Is this how you now do things guys, barging into my private life and doing as you please, write whatever you want, I don’t have a comment. ” fumed Nyovest

Lizelle Tabane (27), who was romantically linked to well-known Pretoria blesser George Leshaba, declined to discuss the bedroom footage she shot with Cassper.

“I have nothing to say. I can’t confirm nor deny anything,” she chuckled.

It is not yet clear how the tape leaked into the public domain but the video seems to have been shot by a high-definition camera. The footage was circulated briefly on the Internet before being pulled down but not before Livemonitor grabbed a copy.

Three independent sources, who did not want to be named because they did not want to jeopardise their relationship with the couple said the two are no longer an item but that Lizelle blackmailed Cassper into a relationship and when he refused because of her shady past, she called him bluff by leaking the damning footage.
